One WWE star wants to see the end of one of Penta’s devastating moves, as they claim they suffered an injury because of it.

Penta has been a thorn in the side of The New Day for weeks now. The popular star stole Xavier Woods’ ridiculous hat that he wore on Raw as he and Kofi Kingston continued to mourn the loss of their World Tag Team Championship.

That led to Woods facing Penta one-on-one on the August 18th edition of Raw. The former AEW star was able to pick up the victory using his Mexican Destroyer. That was despite Xavier Woods seeking advice for counters to the move from the man who invented it when it was known as the Canadian Destroyer, former TNA star Petey Williams.

Now Xavier Woods has taken to social media, calling for the move to be banned altogether as WWE continues to have a ban on piledrivers:

Last night I beat @PENTAELZEROM within an inch of his life. He then cheated by using a Mexican Destroyer, which is an illegal piledriver that should be banned. I now am suffering from searing neck pain and will be getting my injury assessed by an accredited medical team.

The biggest news coming out of Monday Night Raw was Naomi announcing her pregnancy to the world and relinquishing her Women’s World Championship as a result. Naomi has received congratulations from around the world of wrestling, with Jade Cargill even breaking character to offer her rival her best wishes on the news.

It remains to be seen what WWE has planned for the Women’s World Championship, but Stephanie Vaquer was due to compete for the title at Clash In Paris after she won a battle royal at Evolution.
